Dog Portrait

Recently finished this portrait of a beautiful border collie called Sam.

It's too early for snow!!

Woke up to a couple of inches of snow - when they forecast snow on hills it means us! Been enjoying lots of hot buttery toast with homemade jam to keep our spirits up.

Up to now Autumns making quite a spectacle of itself, the trees glow beautifully in the late afternoon sun and slime moulds and fungi are making surprise appearances in the fields. The oaks seem to have produced a really good crop of acorns this year, the fieldfares and redwings are back and every evening the starlings fly over us on their way to roost.

Slime mould ?
